Blizzard planned to hit the Lowcountry Friday

For the fourth year in a row, a night blizzard will hit the Lowcountry, promising one to two feet of snow at the Blue Heron Trail from 6 - 9 p.m. Friday in Ridgeland.

“The Blizzard at Blue Heron Trail” includes two separate areas of snow, bouncy houses and refreshments. Admission is $5 to play in the snow. Photos with Santa are also $5.

The winter snow will be ready at 6 p.m., offering three hours of snowball fights, snow angels and a rare opportunity to experience a blizzard on the coast. Wear winter clothes. Children are also encouraged to bring their favorite snow sledding device which, in the past, has been everything from a cafeteria tray, a beach boogie board to a sled.

The Blue Heron Trail is next to Jasper’s Porch Restaurant in Ridgeland. The Trail of Lights around the lagoon and holiday music will also be on the grounds for entertainment.

This event benefits the Boys & Girls Club of Jasper County. For more information, call the Boys & Girls Club of Jasper County, at 717-1615 or 379-5430.
